for Electronic Written, Aural, Visual Expressions (E-WAVE)
In conjunction with the CCCC in New Orleans, LSU hosted (~15) teacher/student teams who presented assignments and the mulimodal student work that resulted. During our poster sessions participants asked questions about assessment, course content, access levels, support, IP issues, and sustainability.
It is our contention that the visceral experience of seeing, hearing, and interacting with students and student media often convinces hard-pressed teachers that media-rich assignments provide communicative opportunities that appeal, engage, and captivate many 21st century faculty and students.
The Co-Chairs are grateful for financial support for this workshop from OSU, LSU, and CCCC. They also appreciate the contributions of the CxC Communication Studio Coordinators (Lee Bauknight, Warren Hull, Kevin DiBenedetto, & Colleen Fava) and Studio Consultants (especially Boz Bowles Debangana Chatterjee, Melissa Hardaway, and Dewitt Brinson) and the CxC Central Staff (Karen Powell, Kim Bourque, & Tiffany Walter).

This course is an advanced community-based writing course that asks students to create web-based final projects. We meet in a computerized room, and students build their websites using the freeware program NVU. NVU is easy to use and works like many of the Microsoft programs. You can FTP within NVU, or use a separate FTP program to put the web files on-line. (If you do not currently have an FTP, or file transfer program, on your computer, you can probably download one for free from your university's technology center). For the most part, the students' projects are stored on their server space at the U Alabama site so students maintain control over their own work and can determine whether or not to continue displaying the project after the term has ended.

Communication across the Curriculum at LSU was pleased to host the workshop this year. LSU's Distinguished Communicators
attended the workshop and were happy to answer questions about their digital portfolios and other accomplishments.

We at LSU hope that our physical spaces allowed presenters and participants to simulate the work they are doing on their own campuses. We also learned a great deal from our colleagues around the country. Coordinators of each of the CxC Communication Studios hosted tours to the Arts & Sciences Studios ("Studio 151), the Art Design Studio, the Basic Sciences Studio, and the Engineering Communication Studio.
